Five Mountains Sect.
This was a sect formed by Mount Tai Sect, Mount Hua Sect, Mount Song Sect, Mount Heng Sect, and Mount Heng Sect. These five sects were like branches of the same tree, advancing and retreating together.
Every hundred years, they would hold a sword competition to determine the leader of the five sects. In this generation, Mount Song Sect was the leader of the Five Mountains Sect. Its sect leader was also known as the "Alliance Leader". The young man riding the white tiger was the young sect leader of Mount Song Sect, Zuo Xihan.
This was a demon who had a halo around him since he was young. When he was born, he triggered a vision. When he was still a child, he was recognized by a tiger demon that had a trace of the white tiger's bloodline. He was truly favored by the heavens.
Now, he was still very young, not even thirty years old, but he already had the strength of a top-tier Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator. He broke the record of Mount Song Sect for being the youngest person to achieve that in ten thousand years.
Mount Song Sect was the leader of the Five Mountains, so Zuo Xihan was naturally the leader of the younger generation of the Five Mountains Sect. The others all listened to his orders. The geniuses of Mount Buheng, Mount Heng, Mount Tai, and Mount Hua all gathered around him. Whether they were willing or not, they all followed him. This was the rule set by the Five Mountains Sect.
Unless someone's strength could suppress Zuo Xihan, only then could they become the leader.
The people who came to support Yang Wu and his group were the geniuses of the Five Mountains Sect.
Shu Yujun and Qing Jing were both there. One treated Yang Wu as her lover, while the other remembered his kindness. She could not bear to hear anyone speak ill of Yang Wu.
"Alright, our Five Mountains Sect cannot be laughed at by others." The young man, Zuo Xihan, said.
At this moment, Qin Chufeng went up to Zuo Xihan and said, "Thank you for your help, Young Sect Leader Zuo. My Qin Clan will repay you generously in the future."
Qin Chufeng did not look very good. His clothes were tattered and many wounds could be seen. His handsome face was also swollen. He had suffered a lot in the battle just now.
"So it's a brother from the Battle Clan Qin Clan. Sorry for the disrespect." Zuo Xihan replied very politely.
"I have long heard that the Five Mountains Sect are of the same breath and branch. Today, it is indeed true. Young Sect Leader Zuo is a good leader." Qin Chufeng flattered.
What he said made Zuo Xihan feel better, but the geniuses of the other sects did not look so good.
On the surface, the Five Mountain Sects seemed to be united, but in fact, after the changes over the years, the competition between the generations had become more and more intense. No one was willing to give in to the others. Qin Chufeng's words stabbed the geniuses of the other sects where it hurt. They looked at Qin Chufeng with disgust.
Sun Yixuan, Song Qing, and company also expressed their gratitude to the people from the Five Mountains Sect. Even though they were all from powerful factions, they still had to maintain basic etiquette.
When Zuo Xihan heard the names of these people, she hurriedly dismounted from her mount and greeted them politely.
The Five Mountains Sect was formed by the combination of five different sword sects. The Sun family's influence in the War Clan was also extraordinary. They were not inferior to the Wudang Sect. No matter how great Zuo Xihan's fame was, she was too embarrassed to show it in front of them.
Sun Yixuan once again displayed her ability to rope people in and suggested to Zuo Xihan that they should travel together. She did not seem to be worried about the consequences of having too many people and not being able to split the spoils evenly.
Actually, they did not know if the Dragon Phoenix Tree existed or if the Dragon Phoenix Fruit existed. If it really existed, it would be easier for them to fight with other living creatures if they gathered these people together. If it did not exist, they could also deal with other living creatures and increase their chances of winning.
No matter what, it was a good thing for everyone to be united.
Sun Yixuan originally thought that Zuo Xihan would agree readily. Who knew that she would decline and even try to poach people in front of her. He said to Yang Wu, "Saint Master Yang Wu, I heard that you formed a team called 'Jingwu' with Junior Sister Qingjing?"
Yang Wu raised his eyebrows and replied, "Yes, there is such a thing."
"That's good. Junior Sister Qingjing is from the Five Mountains Sect. Jingwu's team will follow the Five Mountains Sect. We will travel together and win more victories," Zuo Xihan said matter-of-factly.
In an instant, the scene became silent. Other than the people from the Five Mountains Sect, everyone else looked at Zuo Xihan in shock. It was as if they had heard the most shocking words of the year.
Who was Yang Wu?
Even if Zuo Xihan was the most powerful demon in the Five Mountains Sect, there was still a big gap between him and Yang Wu. He actually asked Yang Wu to join their team and looked like he was the leader. Who gave him the courage to say that?
"Senior … Senior Brother Zuo, you've misunderstood …" Qing Jing hurriedly tried to explain, but before she could finish, a woman interrupted her and said, "Junior Sister Qing Jing, you don't have the right to speak here."
This woman was quite good-looking. She was extremely tall and had a curvy figure. She was quite sexy. Riding on a white moon horse, she had a domineering aura, as if she did not care about anyone.
Li Yuyue was also a prodigy from the Mount Song Sect. She was a woman who ranked very high on the Heavenly Phoenix List.
After Qingjing was rebutted by Li Yuyue, she seemed a little flustered. She did not know how to respond for a moment.
Ningxin patted Qingjing to calm her down. She said telepathically, "Let Yang Wu settle it. He is not the type to lose out."
At this moment, Yang Wu looked at Zuo Xihan and said faintly, "If Junior Sister Qingjing wants me to follow her, I have nothing to say. As for you … you are not qualified."
Suddenly, Zuo Xihan's eyes flashed with coldness. Beside her, Li Yuyue shouted, "Saint Master Yang Wu, even Junior Sister Qingjing has to listen to the orders of our Young Sect Master. You used to follow her, so it's only right that you follow our Young Sect Master's orders. If you don't want to, we won't force you. However, you may bear the name of someone who goes back on their word. That's not worth it."
Li Yuyue's words were full of threat. It seemed that if Yang Wu refused their invitation, they would have a way to ruin Yang Wu's reputation.
Clang!
In an instant, a sword wave pierced toward Li Yuyue.
The sword came quickly and fiercely. Li Yuyue was shocked. She hurriedly blocked it, but was still bounced off her mount by the sword wave.
"You dare to threaten my man? Do you want to die?" Shu Yujun looked at Li Yuyue coldly with a long sword in her hand.
She was a woman who could clearly distinguish between love and hate. She loved Yang Wu directly, but hated those who disliked Yang Wu directly.
"Shu Yujun, are you crazy? Are you trying to stir up internal strife?" Li Yuyue's face turned green and red as she shouted.
"Put away your disgusting face. What is my man's status? What is your status? Even if the leader of the Five Mountains Sect is here, he has the qualifications to be on an equal footing. If you want to win him over, you better watch your words. He is not a member of the Five Mountains Sect," Shu Yujun said sternly.
When the people around saw her being so direct, they could not help but give her a thumbs up in their hearts.
Li Yuyue still wanted to say something, but Zuo Xihan spoke again. "Junior Sister Shu's words are reasonable. I was rude to Saint Master Yang Wu. Please forgive me. Junior Sister Shu, you don't have to be so angry. Senior Sister Li was a little direct with her words. She did not mean any harm."
"That better be the case." Shu Yujun also knew her limits. She retracted her aura and retreated.
Yang Wu ignored Zuo Xihan. Instead, he waved at Qing Jing and said, "Junior Sister Qing Jing, come here for a moment."
Qing Jing obediently walked toward Yang Wu.
"Do you want me to join your team?" Yang Wu asked Qing Jing with a smile.
Qing Jing and Yang Wu looked at each other. Blushing slightly, Qing Jing lowered her head and replied, "Senior Brother Yang Wu, it is not suitable for me to be the leader of Jingwu. Everyone listens to you. You are the real leader of Jingwu. I cannot force you to do anything."
Qing Jing's words explained her relationship with Yang Wu to everyone. She was only the leader that Yang Wu helped to get to the position. Yang Wu could ignore this relationship at any time.
Yang Wu continued, "This has nothing to do with Jingwu. You are my savior. I can do anything for you. You just have to answer me. Do you want me to join your team?"
"Junior Sister Qing Jing, if Saint Master Yang Wu joins our Five Mountains Sect, it will be a great benefit to our Five Mountains Sect and the Heng Mountain Sect." Zuo Xihan reminded Qing Jing.
Yang Wu was a top level medicine master. If he joined the team, it would definitely reduce the casualties of the team.
Qing Jing was so conflicted that she could not speak.
Yang Wu encouraged her again. "Just ask your heart."
Qing Jing said without hesitation, "I don't want to. Senior Brother Yang Wu should have his freedom."
"Junior Sister Qing Jing." Zuo Xihan shouted. Then he looked at Ning Xin and said, "Senior Sister Ning, please persuade Junior Sister Qing Jing."
Without waiting for Ning Xin to speak, Qing Jing turned to Zuo Xihan and said, "Senior Brother Zuo, Senior Brother Yang Wu and I are friends. He saved our lives. Jingwu's position as leader was given to me by him. Everyone respects Senior Brother Yang Wu, not me. So please don't force Senior Brother Yang Wu. Please forgive me."
At the crucial moment, Qing Jing was able to speak from her heart. Her courage was commendable.
Li Yuyue spoke again. "Our Five Mountains Sect has a strong army. If he joins, we can still protect him. Don't think that you can ignore the dangers here just because you are a medicine master."
"That's not right. We are also friends of Brother Yang Wu. Is it worse to travel with us than to travel with your Five Mountains Sect?" Sun Yong interrupted.
Song Qing, who had been silent, said, "Wudang is fully responsible for Saint Master Yang Wu's safety. You don't have to worry about it."
Song Qing's words carried a lot of weight. Even the Sun Family, Qin Family, and Five Mountains Sect's people revealed looks of disbelief.
Wudang had always been a neutral and righteous sect. They did not participate in the struggles of other powers. Why did Song Qing change his usual attitude and support Yang Wu?
"Eldest Senior Brother is right." Zhang Mingshan could not help but agree.
"Alright, let's not hurt each other. We can travel together." Sun Yixuan said at the right time to smooth things over.
"We are not worthy." Zuo Xihan's handsome face darkened.
